Transmission... Call your dealership and make an appointment.

Good luck.

not unless they can prove the damage was from the cai, if not then no, especially if its your transmission.

*sigh*

Everyone should know their rights.

No, they cannot. First off, they can't just void your warranty simply due to the presence of a modification. They must prove first that the modification is what's causing the problem.

In your case, the problem seems to be with the drivetrain, not the intake. So if they give you ANY trouble for it, tell them that you know your rights under the Magnusson-Moss Act. You can find a lot of information at this site -- http://www.enjoythedrive.com/content/?id=7253

If you worry about that, put the stock air cleaner back & bring it to them. Good luck.

Easiest way to check would've been to make sure the filter is not wet.
